    02/06/2026 | 45 mins.

    660: When Is It Time to Leave My Church? Discernment vs Consumerism

    28/05/2026 | 47 mins.
    When it comes to church, how do you know if it’s time to leave or time to finally commit? What’s the difference between healthy discernment and consumer Christianity? Have we turned church into another product built around our preferences? 
    Ben and Luke wrestle with one of the biggest tensions facing Christians today: how to find a healthy church without approaching faith like a consumer. They explore loneliness, commitment, spiritual formation, and the uncomfortable reality that many of us bring baggage into every church we attend.
